RBI baseball mentioned on ESPN radio

[TempoGL]

I was listening to ESPN1000 (chicago) the other day.  They have a segment called "Know your Chicago athletes" where they interview a chicago sports figure, ask him a bunch of inane questions, and then have people who call into the show try to guess the answers to the questions.

That day, they had interviewed Joe "I Suck...Even for a Cub" Borowski.  One of the questions was "What is Joe Borowski's favorite video game?  He listed them in tandem, so here are your choices"

1) RBI Baseball and Tecmo Bowl
2) Asteroids and some other game
3) I don't know what they said, i was already calling Nacho by this point

I then excited listened as I anticipated the response.  For a moment I was very optimistic that Borowski would choose the holy duo of video games, then I thought "nah, he's a cub, no way will he do that"  Turns out I was right.  He picked Asteroids.  The most amazing part of this is that the ESPN guys knew to put the two best video games in history together.  The guy who called in guessed RBI Baseball, by the way.

Who the fuck likes Asteroids?

It really depends what the other option was, Asteroids isn't the worst game ever, but it's no Space Invaders

Borowski is a communist.   Really cool of ESPN to throw in RBI.  I've read several articles/interviews over the past few years where MLB players mention RBI.

At least it wasn't "Mr. Do" and "Root Beer Tapper".

Never played Root Beer Tapper, was it the standard Tapper sans Bud products?  Quality game...

I really hope you have nothing bad to say about Mr. Do.
